Worry Journal As A Way To Manage Stress

Worry Journal As A Way To Manage Stress

What do you do when you feel stressed or worried? Do you vent to anyone who will listen? Or do you calmly jot down your thoughts in a journal? For many people, the answer is probably the former. For some, venting may lead to a cathartic release of emotions.

However, using a journal to jot down your worries can be an effective tool to help you lean into uncomfortable emotions. It can also help you dissect what you’re feeling and provide you with a path forward.

How To Start A Worry Journal

How To Start A Worry Journal

Ask yourself:

  • What are you really worried about?
  • What do you fear is going to happen?
  • Where might the worry have come from?

Start writing:

  • Grab a pen and paper and write down everything you’re worried about, big and small.
  • Set a 3-minute timer and make a list. The idea is you’ll run out of worries to write before the timer is up.
  • Fill a page for each worry and get to the root of the issue.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
